Competitive swap solvers, on-chain
As of · Jun 4, 10:37 UTC
Every DeFi swap today goes through aggregators and market makers that extract fees while users accept whatever price they receive. Minotaur flips this by running a competitive solver network on Bittensor, where compete to find the best execution path for your swap intent and win fees only when they actually deliver. The is up 40.0% over 30 days with 389 in net inflows last week.
What is minotaur
Minotaur (SN112) is a Bittensor subnet focused on swap-intent processing and execution optimization. Users submit signed swap intents, and a network of solver miners compete to find the best execution path using AMMs, RFQ market makers, and direct matches. run Docker-based simulation to score each solver on user surplus, gas efficiency, and correctness, then submit weights to the chain.
The simple version: Instead of accepting the first price an aggregator offers, a market of solvers compete to give you the best deal, and the winner earns fees only when they deliver.

How it works:
- Miners (solvers) receive swap intents, compute candidate settlements that maximize user surplus, and compete across AMMs, RFQ market makers, and direct matches. They earn solver fees on target chains and alpha token based on performance, in a winner-takes-most model. Each submission must be signed by the solver's .
- Validators fetch pending orders from the aggregator, validate execution through Docker-based simulation epochs (default 5 minutes), compute miner scores from validation success rates, and submit weights to the Bittensor chain. Every validator processes the same event window and produces the same weight vector, ensuring deterministic scoring.
